For wanting to stick pins in my eyes when people write "on route"

[gratefulforwhatihavegot]

If you don't understand how to write something then don't try and be clever.

FB selling pages are usually good for these! Someone the other day was offering a chester draws...

How about this It is correct on the website, but on the actual cardboard packaging, it says draws every time! and I bloody well paid £8.50! it is good though!

Haha! I've seen chester draws too! and walldrobes and stalls (for stools).
My Ds 15 is a pedant and corrects everyone on fb. He shames them!!

One of my tooth irritants is "I've got somethink to tell you" grrr!!!

Even "apropos" makes my teeth itch.

Write "à propos" or stick to English.

I can't believe people would make fo pahs like this.

(And yes, I have seen people spelling 'faux pas' as 'fo pah'.)

Ah bad that would have worked so much better if you'd left it at just the first sentence. You had to make absolutely, doubly sure that it was clear which side of the educational and class divide you were on, didn't you? Don't worry. You passed. The mean girls will love you now.

What kind of vitriol cocktail is everyone drinking tonight? What a weird way to assert superiority over the plebian masses everyone else.

Ability and education are both the products of luck, surely?

Not a misspelling, but the word 'boom' used to conclude statements makes me irrationally angry.

Am I the only person wondering what is wrong with 'on route'?

My most hated one is draw instead of drawer. I can appreciate that in some accents they sound similar but how far can you get in life and not see drawer used in context.

hmc you're overreacting somewhat. I didn't mention dyslexia. I was referring to the standard figures of speech in English that most Americans seem to get wrong.

I'm sure I read a thread (though it might have been on FB) all about "volleyvants". Give me strength!

I once read a lovely malapropism on here. 'I didn't intend on doing mixed bf and ff but it was the only way I could get any restbite'.

This makes amusing reading.

"Right of passage".

Except it isn't. It's fucking rite. Our something that you undergo and emerge stronger.

So it isn't the "right" to have an all-night piss-up on your 21st birthday.

BillyBanter - I remember reading a thread on here where the poor OP was suffering badly with terrible 'dire rear'. Beautiful.

perfect!

My brother always says Ge-shoon-tie when someone sneezes. My teeth don't just itch, they come out in hives!

and don't get me started on draws

Really?!

I didn't know "on route" was French.

P.S. But apropos has been part of the English (and German) language for a good few centuries now.

Don't go wrecking their fun with something as esoteric and niche-interest as an english dictionary Tilly!

oh, en route? Ah. I was thinking, oh is it meant to be on the route or something. I knew I should have asked for context.

I see no reason why someone can't use on route though. It makes perfect sense. I can't see that it is 'wrong'.
